“Purchased new michelin sport tires DOT gudl 275/35 zr 18 on11/3/2010 and found out that the manufacturing date was 1107. These tires were over 3 years old and should have not been sold as new. The tire dealer accepted my complaint and replaced them with 0909 tires. The old ones were being returned to the distributor but I have no way of knowing if they are going to be resold or destroyed. Shouldn't there be guidelines making sure 3 yr old tires are destroyed and not sold as new?”
